[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 3377409, member: 18182"] If the whole group agrees than the table rules are OK and reasonable for your group . . . Having said that, however . . . "devotion to my game"????? Another WOW from me! I've never expected any of my player's to show devotion at the table, we just get together to have fun. Your group definitely sounds like it has HIGH expectations and might just be a little too proud of that, but that's just me. Different styles of gaming are cool and all . . . but I've had lots of players who weren't "cheap" or "less devoted" and had jobs that couldn't afford to join your group! There's always at least two or three PHBs floating around at our table, so I would feel silly not allowing someone to play if they didn't bring one. I got lots of extra pencils, and after many years of gaming, way too many dice. Character sheets are pretty easy to come across too. And miniatures?? We use 'em, but would never bar anyone who didn't have enough "devotion" to provide their own painted up masterpiece. Purchasing an unpainted mini and painted it up is a cost in money, time, and talent that not everybody can afford. Purchasing a single pre-painted mini that resembles your character at a reasonable price isn't always easy either . . . even if you have access to the net and eBay. And while Reaper did just announce a new line of pre-painted mini's . . . there's still the cost of an appropriate single mini that would be an issue for some . . . and more importantly Reaper's line hasn't actually been released yet . . . While I suppose I could "afford" to join a group with rules such as yours . . . I wouldn't dream of it! I guess my own gaming style is just to laid-back and all . . . Dude. [/QUOTE]
